Especially fun because we hung out with Moai Mike and Polynesian Pattie. I'll have to work hard to relieve the boredom, I liked that comment. Atomic Tiki Punk I'm going to miss all these fun posts. We'll have to be absent more often, NOT! hang10tiki ATP- strong work brother...... I didn't know you were brothers. WaikikianMoeKele the Sacramento Ohana is a great group of huggy people with fun homes to visit. We are already looking forward to next year. I hope you will all play here whenever we leave because I sure had fun returning to see it all. =============================================================== Today I'll start some catch up. Duane O. aka Psycho Tiki D invented the Sacramento Crawl 8 years ago. I hope that means he did the first one in 2006. He started something very special because these events bring us together as friends. We see each other between crawls and always enjoy our time together. Marlene aka VampiressRN wanted Duane to be honored at the crawl this year for all the work it takes to organize the crawl. We all wanted to say thank you for all the fun and joy he has brought to us. I volunteered to make a mug for him, kind of a trophy. So I altered a Tiki Bob by putting a goatee on it to resemble him. First I printed the text in the size I thought would fit on the mug. I added his goatee. I carved the words into the backside of the mug. The rest of the lettering shows here. I turned it into palm wood. After the bisque fire and scrubbing I added black glaze to fill in the words. After it dried I wiped off all the excess glaze leaving it in the lettering grooves. Next I painted over the lettering with the palm wood glaze. I painted his face. Hi Duane - Psycho Tiki D. I left the mug in the shed to dry. The lettering in black is now hidden by the other glaze. After firing the front looked like this. The lettering wasn't perfect. I think I put the palm wood glaze on too thick. The bottom. Duane came over to pick up his severed head mug. I had hidden his thank you mug. Final photo in the MadDogMike studio. Psycho Tiki D gets his mug. In case you haven't met Duane he is one of the nicest guys ever and a dear friend of mine and the entire tiki community. Thank you Duane, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-10-18 08:08 ]
